About this opportunity
This Award Notice is for a contract awarded by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (also known as the Air Force Research Laboratory) for the development of multi-band, satellite communications antennas capable of communicating with various commercial space internet constellations across Ku and Ka bands. The contract, valued at $54,710,277, was awarded to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis. The developed antennas will interface with modems and transceivers being matured under a separate contract/agreement.
Notice text
This contract seeks multi-band, satellite communications antennas capable of use on military aircraft. Developed antennas will be capable of communications with multiple commercial space internet (CSI) constellations in various orbital regimes such as low-, medium-, and geosynchronous earth orbits (LEO, MEO, GEO), across both Ku and Ka bands, while interfacing with modems and transceivers being matured as a result of contracts/agreements awarded under DEUCSI Call 3.
This effort was competitive. This was awarded as a cost plus fixed fee contract. In selecting the appropriate contract type, the contracting officer considered the factors in FAR 16.104.
Awarded contract FA2385-24-C-B040 to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for 54710277.00 on 2024-09-16.
